I saw the announcement. How do these work? Just get the hotel & show up? Is there a "plan", what does my entry fee get me? Do both myself & my spouse have to pay? I have more questions, never having gone on one of these before...

Mrs. Says Let's Go

Got the go ahead from the Mrs. tonight. First motorcycle trip she has been on with me in several years since the kids showed up. I am jazzed to be taking her to this event!

The host hotel is the Marriott Courtyard in Vallejo, CA. You can call the hotel directly and make room reservations. You can stay anywhere you like, but they should have special room rates for MOA members. 707-644-1200.

Register both you and your spouse. Your entry fee should entitle you to a cocktail meet and greet on Friday night, dinner on Saturday night, welcome gifts, door prizes and maybe some other specials. I haven't seen all the details, but this was the basic package for Cedar City last year.

I can tell you it is a good time and a great excuse to ride, meet other members and generally have a good time around motorcycles. Last year, I met some folks that I would not have normally encountered and they became great friends. Not to mention some I had already met. Again, can't wait!

Forgot to Mention

The format is structured to your liking. There will be lead rides (probably three) that you can choose from, or maps will be available and you can strike out on your own. You can even mix the two if you choose. It really is a weekend for you, so structure it as you see fit. Just make it back for "social time" on Friday and Saturday.
